A modern new Italian restaurant, IN Italy. The Catanians…read moreand Americans are raving about this new place that only recently opened... it's up there with that cool restaurant under a Hostel that has a stream running through it. What you'll get at Ritz: Little tiny pizzeta's... presumably made from the pizza dough, but baked to cracker crunchiness, full size pizza's, ample appetizers and actual cocktails that are hard to find in Italy. You'll be doing yourself a favor if you try the spritz here, it's not quite as "orange-y" as the one's you'll get elsewhere.

Being from New York and California, I have to say that this was the best find I could imagine. The…read morereal kicker was that it had one of the best bartenders ever, Marco - a true mixologist. He made a Manhattan with Campari, si singularity the best drink I have ever had. The hostess was fantastic, the waitress were Princeton ballerinas the pizza was sublime, I think I would go back to Catania just to have Marco make me another cocktail. A must stop, don't be shy to tip heavily, as no one else does. R from San Diego.

The waiter forgot we ordered an appetizer and, instead of simply apologizing, very aggressively told us we never ordered it. The ravioli Norma 2.0 were 4 medium/small ravioli with mushy eggplants inside and not much flavor. Two of us ordered the tuna that was supposed to be just seared on the outside and instead was completely dry as if it had been prepared before and reheated (both of us felt sick during the night.For a toddler we ordered a portion of simple pasta with tomato sauce and we were charged 23 euros. So our advise is to just go up for the view and never have dinner there. It is a real pity that a 4-star hotel does not control service and food quality.

Menu offered in English, which often means you're going to get your standard touristy restaurant offering pizza and pasta that isn't very good. However, the plates were very good. I got the beef in tuna sauce and the octopus and potatoes. The beef paired with the tuna sauce well. Neither overpowered the other. The octopus was very tender and cooked well, Often times you get it tough. It was grilled and gave it a bit of a BBQ flavor. The soft potato cream helped balance that. Definitely worth checking out for something different than pizza and pasta most restaurants are offering throughout Italy.
